Tigers In On Alphonso Soriano

[byco42]

Delmon didn't do well batting third last season either.

And the Tigers need to minimize Delmons ABs (they should just cut him), not maximize them.

Yes, it's a bad idea that gets worse the more your mull it over. Ruth and Gehrig didn't bat fourth and fifth. Maris and Mantle didn't either. Neither did Aaron and Cepeda. Nor McCovey and Cepeda. Neither did Kaline and Colavito.

I see a pattern.

Someone on the Ticket today suggested that Delmon Young go back to batting third, because he batted third last season. It's one of the many really "peculiar" suggestions that callers have made in the last two days, and I attribute it to the full moon.

I guess he forgot that Prince Fielder was not on the team last season. He suggested that Fielder bat fifth.

Brilliant suggestion by a fan.....wowwoweewa

I'd personally bat Miggy 2 and Prince 3. We have no guy to bat 2 might as well start with 3 high OBP guys, AJ, Miggy and Prince.

I would love that.

And wholeheartedly agree.
